Invitation to artist reception: Natalia Aandewiel, local painter at Garfield Park Library.

Saturday, July 11, 3-5 pm

Her artist statement:

A Life Shaped by Movement, Memory, and Artistic Devotion

Natalia Aandewiel is a Ukrainian-born visual artist based in Santa Cruz County, California, whose practice is deeply rooted in expressive oil and acrylic painting. Her work captures the fleeting energy of live events, the emotional weight of memory, and the enduring beauty of the natural world. She often paints on-site during weddings, concerts, and cultural gatherings, allowing her to absorb movement, atmosphere, and sound directly into her brushstrokes.
